Alan Cumming Says Pedro Pascal Was Hurt in Their First Avengers: Doomsday Scene

The X-Men veteran confirms his MCU return during Russo-directed production releasing December 2026.

Overview

  • Cumming told Jimmy Kimmel Live! that Pascal hurt his neck during their first scene together and was sent home, joking, "I broke Pedro."
  • He clarified the mishap did not occur during a fight scene and noted they were not wearing character enhancements like Nightcrawler’s tail or Mister Fantastic’s extended arms.
  • The actor is reprising Nightcrawler and previously said he trained for stunts, recalling being told he would be "hitting Pedro Pascal," a remark that sparked fan speculation without confirming an on-screen clash.
  • He has described shooting most of his material in isolation with heavy green screen work and face replacement, reflecting a VFX-heavy ensemble production.
  • Avengers: Doomsday unites Avengers, Fantastic Four, and legacy X-Men cast members under directors Joe and Anthony Russo, with release scheduled for December 18, 2026.
